Brooklyn-based textile designer and author Rebecca Atwood came to TWG with hopes of tapping into her mobile-centric audience. We gave her a shiny new mobile-first experience.
HomeKit is Apple’s framework for home automation.
It’s what manufacturers use to integrate their products: lights, speakers, thermostats, plugs, sensors, locks, and more with Apple’s iPhone and iPad. With Homekit, these accessories can be more secure, easier to use, and best of all, triggered with Siri.
Here's how we did it...
Our Process

On typography tiles
Typography tiles helped us get a feel for Rebecca's aesthetic sensibilities early in the process.
They helped us to isolate key elements of the site's design and to focus the conversation on the options presented. These marked the first step in developing Rebecca's refreshed design system.
Drawing the welcome mat.
When we first set out to design Rebecca's website, we were looking for the pièce de résistance that would create a truly memorable experience. Our project team banded together and whiteboarded our most uninhibited ideas. We started with the home page, which had the most potential for wow-factor.
It was from this exercise that our team came up with the concept of a "shoppable room;" an image that could contain almost all of Rebecca's product offerings; from textiles to wallpapers to pillows.
This feature became one of the site's most-clicked features, and a custom Shopify implementation on the back end allowed Rebecca and her team to easily edit the product pin locations and information.
“You really took the time to think outside the box. One of the things that I like most about our site is the interactive image. It's something I had never seen before.”
